what do you sweeten your tea and coffee with?

Lemon for my tea -- doesn't sweeten it, but takes away a bit of the bitterness. I also will mix a bag of natural raspberry tea and a bag of green tea - adds a bit of flavor - -and try Mint tea - very refreshing!
Coffeemate of other brand sugar free creamers -- 1 tbls won't hurt anything.0 -
I drink tea but I don't sweeten it. I used to and it got out of hand. I was up to FOUR packs a few months ago. A friend suggested I drop by one pack a week until a hit zero. It made the process painless and I'm leaving a lot of teas taste better without sweetener. With that said, it needs to be a quality tea brand. Lipton teas are not good alone (they're free at work so i drink it when I'm out of green tea). Bigalows, Republic of Tea, and a few others are great without sweetner!
However, I love sweet coffee so I just try to stay away from it for the most part. I could drown myself in a nice caramel machiato (sp?) and die happy0 -
Normally I don't add any sweetner but if I fancy it sweet then I add honey and only then to my coffee (1/2 to 1 tsp in a mug) not sure how it would work with tea as sweet tea never tastes right to me lol0

I LOVE truvia in my tea! 2 packets(:
Its just like stivia, but i think it tastes better! xx0 -
i still use sugar, although less of it.
for coffee, the flavored creamers are good. most tisane teas i buy dont need sweetening, but most of the black and green teas i buy do need it (especially the chais and the earl greys). i'd use other stuff but it tastes weird to mestoic motivation: I like the bitter taste of losing fat

I like sugar. I need sugar & coffee & creamer. I am a terrible person to live with without it. I will fully admit I am addicted, and PROUD.
To perform as a good citizen in society, I need the white bad sugar in my coffee.
Plain & simple

In my coffee, a little bit of pure maple syrup when I'm home (the good stuff, not table syrup), a bit of sugar when I'm out. In my tea, a tiny bit of honey.0

Nothing anymore, just milk... You can get used to not having a sweetener, the milk takes the edge off the bitterness0

Coffee: Nothing. But I must have skim or 1% milk in it.
Tea: Two teaspoons of sugar, but I prefer to have a tea I can drink black, such as Harney & Son's Hot Cinnamon Spice tea, which is naturally sweetened by cloves and cinnamon and has no calories.0 -
I use honey for tea and for my coffees I'll usually use stevia like you(: but I heard a lot of people like agave as a sweetner and I know in a lot of local cafes they use agave a lot to sweeten drinks when requested.0
-
I only use creamer in my coffee. In my tea, I use Stevia in the Raw.0
-
My finger! haha...
Just kidding - if I use anything, I use organic stevia0 -
Vanilla almond milk............
or one of the awesome ladies from MFP0 -
I do miss my coffee-3-creams-three-sugars (sigh), but I don't miss the way it made me feel. Now I drink my coffee black, sweetened with either honey or agave. Same for hot tea. I really like stevia in ice tea because it dissolves quickly and distributes evenly.0
-
I sweeten my coffee with soy milk, of course.
And maybe agave.0 -
i use lemon or honey0
-
Truvia in my Tazo Passionfruit iced tea I don't like the way Stevia seems to have an aftertaste.0

Coffee Mate, various flavors. It's worth the calories to me.0

Totally agree!0 -
try sugar in the raw. it hardly taste any dif
I love Sugar in the Raw -- still has calories, but much better taste, and less processed.
Honey is great too!
I've also tried a natural sugar from the natural food section that's supposed to be pure cane, and it's lovely. But it's also $7 for a small bag...
I don't like Stevia, or Splenda too much...I guess I don't really believe that they're as "close to nature" as they claim.0 -
I go black...
And I bet you'll never go back0 -
